Re: Hair Issues
I did Carboplatin, Taxotere and Herceptin. Five and a half rounds of the T/C and a year of Herceptin. It is now a little over two years since my dx and my eyebrows which were nice and thick are hardly there. They have grown back just a little. My hair initially came back thick and wavy, almost curly. Now after 2 yrs it is thin. I have heard that the taxotere does this.
The shampoo sounds great! Do you have to keep using it or is just a few treatments all you need?
Can I use the Nioxin on my eyebrows too????
